Munzon, Santillan go 1-2 in 2019 PBA D-League Draft
There will be a whopping 20 teams who will be competing for the crown in the D-League

MANILA, Philippines – Joshua Munzon and Santi Santillan spearheaded the 61 of the 151 draftees as they went 1-2 in the 2019 PBA D-League Draft on Tuesday, January 15, at the PBA Office in Libis.

AMA Online Education took the Filipino-American winger at the pole position in the draft, giving the Titans a foundational talent as they seek to reach the semifinals for the first time in franchise history.

Munzon, 24, is a veteran of the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) with Saigon Heat and Westports Malaysia Dragons as he now takes his act to the Philippines full-time.

Santillan, meanwhile, has established himself as a serviceable big man in his two years with La Salle, something which he will bring to Marinerong Pilipino.

Go for Gold-CSB took Kapampangan big man Jeremiah Pangalangan at No. 3, Che’Lu Bar and Grill selected Sean Manganti at No. 4, and Wangs Basketball picked Troy Rike at No. 5.

Completing the first round are Kristoffer Torrado of Diliman College at No. 6, Christian Nidoy of Trinity at No. 7, and Jerome Villanueva of McDavid at No. 8.

Other notable names which slid out of the first round were Kib Montalbo of AMA in the second, Anton Asistio of Marinero in the fourth and Juan Gomez de Liano and Jasper Parker of Che’Lu in the sixth and seventh rounds, respectively.

Only 8 out of 20 teams participated in the draft because the 12 other school-based teams already have full rosters.
